Someone did recently post about the sprocket kit. BE did testing of oil pressure and did not see the same thing SRD noted. Not sure what temp BE tested at but it might be in the bearing wiki. I have never seen over about 240F but don’t track my car.

Yeah, all of the information was well documented by AutoTalent during the design of the bearings.

It would be nice to know if others have seen significant drops in pressure after installing proper clearance bearings. As deansbimmer said in the other post, changing the sprockets will come at the cost of wear and HP.

Cheers,
